Flashing election signs ‘threat to road safety’

THE placing of large flashing road signs to promote Co Limerick independent candidate, John Dillon, the former IFA president, was yesterday condemned as irresponsible and a threat to road safety.

Limerick County Council said six electronic signs with the intermittent messages, Vote No 1 John Dillon, and Dillon Delivers, pose a serious traffic hazard on a busy road.

The signs have been placed in fields facing onto a number of major roads.
